Flight Deal: Spain or Portugal for Less Than $500 Round-Trip

Flights to cities across Spain and Portugal are $300 to $400 lower than their usual cost, thanks to low fares from TAP Portugal. The deal, discovered by Scott Keyes of Scott's Cheap Flights, extends to nine Spanish cities and Lisbon, Portugal for as low as $475 round-trip. And while it may not be warm enough to spend your vacation on the beach if you take advantage of this deal, which is valid for travel from January through April, there's still plenty to do: Compared to other European destinations, Spain and Portugal have average winter temperatures in the 50s and 60s, which is warm enough to explore some of the most beautiful coastal cities in Spain, like Málaga, Valencia, and Barcelona. The flights depart from Boston, Miami, and New York City and fly to a range of destinations including A Coruña, Asturias, Bilbao, Madrid, Seville, and Vigo. Lisbon, too, is a strong contender for where to go on this deal, as the Portuguese capital has a burgeoning art and architecture scene, and is widely considered one of the most underrated cities in Europe.
